\subsection{Argon Experiment}  Using \ref{fig:ArgonAnalysis} and Eq. \ref{eq:lowestlevel}, we plugged in n=0.5 into thecubic  fit to find the lowest excitation energy for argon just like what we did for neon. The number we got appeared to be $10.80 \pm 0.02$ eV. According to the NIST website, the first excitation energy level occurs around 11.55 eV as shown in \ref{fig:ArgonEnergyLevels}. 11.55eV does not fall within the range of the experimentally determined lowest excitation level of $10.80 \pm 0.02$ eV. However, it is close.
